This is how I imagine vanilla ice cream would taste if it were a tea. The vanilla flavor is so deep and creamy. It does not have any of that fake vanilla flavor that is used in cheap ice cream. It smells very much like a vanilla bean you just scraped the seeds out of.
In the dry leaves, I get that pure, natural vanilla bean aroma mixed with something that smells a little like apple. So it sort of ends up smelling like an apple puree with vanilla which is very nice.
It’s the same with the brewed tea; I get that natural vanilla bean flavor and apple-like flavor both on the nose and when I drink the tea. Since this tea is decaffeinated, the tea flavor itself is very muted and softened, so I can barely taste any tea underneath the vanilla flavor, which is apparently a Ceylon base. Because the tea flavor is so light, it makes the vanilla flavor stand out, which is nice. Due to the decaffeination process, the body of the tea is also kind of watery and weak – I would call it a light-bodied tea with almost no briskness. This isn’t negative, it’s just an inherent trait of a decaf tea. But the thick, creamy vanilla flavor balances out the light body of the tea base.
I highly recommend this tea if you are looking for a decaf vanilla flavored tea, or just a vanilla flavored tea, period, since the decaffeination process doesn’t make this tea worse in the slightest.

I haven’t seen a note on this tea in a while! It reminds me of when Angrboda was looking for the perfect vanilla tea.
Thank you for your comment, Courtney. Do you know what her thoughts were on Vanilla Comoro, if she has tried it?
I actually went back and looked, but she never did a review on this one. Her perfect vanilla tea became Fru P’s Vanilla (https://steepster.com/teas/fru-p-kaffe-and-the/35889-vanilla).
Thanks for the info, Courtney. I have not tried that one or even heard of it before. I guess I could give it a try but I have so much tea already!
Haha yes, I know what you mean. The shop is in Denmark, so perhaps easier for you to try. I inquired about ordering with them, but the shipping was too expensive for me (at least a couple years ago)!
